Who can bid
- Any company doing nondestructive testing must be NADCAP accredited (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) or be a laboratory accredited under ISO 17025 by one of the listed bodies (A2LA, ANAB, IAS, NVLAP, PJLA, CALA or SCC); test certificates must show the accreditation symbol
Things to watch
- Worth checking: Critical versus non-critical item. The scope says the material is designated Critical because it serves a shipboard aircraft launch and recovery system, while the notes say it is an ALRE non-critical item, so ask the contracting officer which controls apply.
- Worth checking: Accredited testing required. Any nondestructive testing must be done by a NADCAP or ISO 17025 accredited company, which may mean paying an outside lab.
- Worth checking: Drawing updates are in an attachment. The drawings may have changed, and the changes are on an attached update sheet that is not in the notice text.
